The Silver Spirit offers guests comfortable and spacious accommodations where you can relax, or alternately, the many facilities on board like the casino, beauty salon, pool deck, boutique shopping offer guests entertainment and indulgence aplenty.
This morning you'll have an early departure from Istanbul, making the northeastern voyage across the Black Sea to Yalta.
The Port of Istanbul is the most important one in the country. The old port on the Golden Horn serves primarily for personal navigation, while Karaköy port in Galata is used by the large cruise liners. Istanbul is a major highlight for any cruise in the Mediterranean and Aegean Sea, with ships arriving in from the Marmara Sea, past the Princes' Islands and Golden Horn to dock at the start of the Bosphorus strait, between Asia and Europe. The main cruise ship ports used in Istanbul are usually on the European side of the city, about 30 mins from the Old City.
Yalta is a city in Crimea, southern Ukraine, on the north coast of the Black Sea. The city is located on the site of an ancient Greek colony, said to have been founded by Greek sailors who were looking for a safe shore on which to land. Yalta has a beautiful embankment along the Black Sea. People can be seen strolling there all seasons of the year, and it also serves as a place to gather and talk, to see and be seen. There are several beaches to the left and right of the embankment. The city also has a drama theater, plenty of restaurants, and an open-air market.
Sevastopol is a port city in Ukraine, located on the Black Sea coast of the Crimea peninsula. After World War II, Sevastopol was entirely rebuilt. Many top architects and civil engineers from Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev and other cities and thousands of workers from all parts of the USSR took part in the rebuilding process which was mostly finished by the mid-1950s. Attractions include the Chersonessos National Archeological Reserve, The Panorama Museum and the The Black Sea Fleet Museum.
Odessa is a major seaport located on the shore of the Black Sea. Local attractions include; Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater, Tolstoy Palace, Vorontsov Palace, Novikov Palace, Potocki Palace (Fine Arts museum) and Gagarin Palace (Literary museum). It is also known for its huge outdoor market, the Seventh-Kilometer Market, the biggest market of its kind in Europe. It has an international airport, and passenger ships and ferries connect Odessa with Istanbul, Haifa, and Varna.
Constanta is the oldest living city in Romania, founded around 600 BC. The city is located in the Dobruja region of Romania, on the Black Sea coast. One of the largest cities in Romania, Constanta is now an important cultural and economic center, worth exploring for its archaeological treasures and the atmosphere of the old town center. Its historical monuments, ancient ruins, grand Casino, museums and shops, and proximity to beach resorts make it the focal point of Black Sea coast tourism. Open-air restaurants, nightclubs and cabarets offer a wide variety of entertainment. Regional attractions include traditional villages, vineyards, ancient monuments and the Danube Delta, the best preserved delta in Europe.
Nesebar is an ancient town and one of the major seaside resorts on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, located in Burgas Province. Often referred to as the "Pearl of the Black Sea" and "Bulgaria's Dubrovnik", Nesebar is a rich city-museum defined by more than three millennia of ever-changing history. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations and seaports on the Black Sea, and its abundance of historic buildings prompted UNESCO to include Nesebar in its list of World Heritage Sites in 1983.
This morning you'll arrive back in Istanbul, where you'll disembark from your ship, and bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates.
A transfer between the airport and the city or your hotel with a private vehicle and driver is provided.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
A George Smiley Novel
John le Carré - Author
- CD Unabridged: $39.95 add to cart
The inspiration for the major motion picture, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy starring Gary Oldman and Colin Firth
The first novel in John le Carré's celebrated Karla trilogy, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a heart-stopping tale of international intrigue.
The man he knew as "Control" is dead, and the young Turks who forced him out now run the Circus. But George Smiley isn't quite ready for retirement-especially when a pretty, would-be defector surfaces with a shocking accusation: a Soviet mole has penetrated the highest level of British Intelligence. Relying only on his wits and a small, loyal cadre, Smiley recognizes the hand of Karla-his Moscow Centre nemesis-and sets a trap to catch the traitor.
The feature film adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) and features a cast that includes Gary Oldman as Smiley, Academy Award(r) winner Colin Firth (The King's Speech), and Tom Hardy (Inception).
"A rattling good novel."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"John le Carré is the great master of the spy story . . . the constant flow of emotion lifts him not only above all modern suspense novelists, but above most novelists now practicing."
-Financial Times
-The Wall Street Journal

1000 Universal Studios Blvd, Universal City, CA | Directions 9160834.136247 -118.351366
Neighborhoods: Central LA, Hollywood Hills
Parking is $7 with validation or you can take the red line. It's a good place to meet up or take visiting friends. Good night life and okay food.
Fun, Fun, Fun! – I have had the privelage to go to several restaurants here as well as check out the nightlife! This is a must for people new to the area and those who have not been here in a while! Good times!!!
Solid Fun – The Citywalk is a really cool place to go if you just want to hang out, look at different stores, shop, eat, drink and meet interesting people. I like coming here to people watch or hang out with friends. I am glad we have a place like this close to home. It is a tourist attraction but it makes it even more interesting.
Great Shopping Experience – CityWalk is a great place to shop and eat. The food was great!, and i got a personalized leather bracelet from Rant 'n' Rave Kiosk. The employees at Rant 'n' Rave were very helpful and kind.
great times – love this place, there's so much to do and see here, and its always a good time. there are quite a few tourists but its the whole attaction to this place! there's a good selection of places to eat and places to entertain you! can't go wrong with a trip to city walk.
Getting Better – There are more resturants and the entertainment is getting better. Everytime I go...there is new stuff.
Worst experience ever – My husband my friends and I went there to have a good time we waited in line for 20 mins. or so then when we got to the front a big black security guard didn't let my husband in because supposedly baggy Dockers pants. His pants were no baggier that any one else in that place. It was so embarrassing!!! I will never go back there again or recommended to anyone else I know!!!
Place is awesome, cost to park is not – OK, so this definitely an L.A. tourist trap, and if you don?t come with a car full of people, parking is atrocious at around $10 per car. However, all the flashing billboards and larger-than-life architecture make Citywalk feel like a little slice of Vegas in Valley, just without the gambling. Tapas bar Tu Tu Tango and Southwestern rodeo restaurant Saddle Ranch are my favorite places to dine. I love looking at the quirky objects inside the socks and magnet stores. Citywalk is a great place to bring out-of-towners for some entertainment or for Angelenos who are not too embarrassed to mix in with the tourists.
Claustrophic and cheesy – As an outdoor mall, this one misses the mark. As a tourist destination too. Whether you're going for a movie, to shop, or to dine, it just seems like its a mess. The alley is too narrow, leading to crowdedness even when the crowd isn't that large. Tourist mix with area teens. And they charge for parking at ridiculous prices. All the stores pretty much sell stupid stuff. And the restaurants don't really even try. If you're from out of town, I'd suggest you skip the trap and go straight for one of the Los Angeles restaurant rows or upscale shopping centers. Visitors who have experienced Orlando's version of the same beware, this one is nothing like the open airy and thriving east coast namesake.
Lots of Shop Eye Candy – City Walk has improved over the years. There were issues regarding gangs that hung out there that seem to have been resolved with an increased security presence. They have nice places to spend your time and money like BB Kings, the Rhumba Room, Howl at the Moon piano bar, and the newly remodeled AMC movie theaters. The major issue is that it costs $10 to park in order to go to Citywalk so I'd recommend carpooling here and make sure you are going to do something or else you're just paying $10 to see tourists, drunk clubbers, and neon lights.

Holt: Benson woman tests enduranceBENSON, Minn. – Triathlete Tyson Cluever started her journey in April 2010 with a 45-minute walk/jog in a pair of cheap sneakers pushing her infant son in a stroller.
By: Meredith Holt, INFORUM
BENSON, Minn. – Triathlete Tyson Cluever started her journey in April 2010 with a 45-minute walk/jog in a pair of cheap sneakers pushing her infant son in a stroller.
"I never thought I would run a marathon; I just wanted to get in shape," the 29-year-old woman says.
That June she ran her first 5K in her hometown of Benson, about 130 miles southeast of Moorhead.
"I did it and I got a medal, and I was completely hooked," she says, adding that her first medal is still her favorite.
As a new mom, Tyson cut herself some slack, but she wasn't happy with her body or the way her clothes were fitting.
"I knew that if I wanted to do something about it, it was me who had to do it. I wasn't going to put it on someone else," she says.
During her pregnancy, the petite woman reached over 200 pounds.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw that number," she says.
Though she added jogging intervals to her brisk walks right away, she made dietary changes slowly at first.
"My diet didn't really change until that winter when I decided for some stupid reason that I was going to train for a half ironman," she says jokingly.
It didn't take long for running to become her "go-to exercise," but Ty wanted to cross-train and further challenge herself by adding swimming and cycling.
"I love this multisport competition, even though I'm nowhere near an elite athlete. I'm not even, in my eyes, an age-group competitor," she says. "I just go out and I do it and I finish. I'm my biggest challenge."
If she was going to get in the pool, the Minnesota State University Moorhead grad had to face her fears – she's uncomfortable around water.
"I had to forget every episode of 'River Monsters' I've ever watched," she says with a laugh.
Ty trained at the indoor pool at Benson High School, putting in half a mile at a time, sometimes twice a day.
"I did a ton of lap-swimming," she says.
She struggled in the water during her first indoor-outdoor triathlon in Alexandria in May 2011, but her husband, Jon, her son, Kael, and her best friend were there to meet her at the finish.
"I've never felt like more of an athlete than hearing my name announced over the loudspeaker," she says.
That same month, Ty ran her first marathon in Brookings, S.D. She followed that up with a couple 5Ks in June, a triathlon in July and an Olympic-distance triathlon in August.
During the Olympic-distance triathlon, "I was the last person off the bike. That was really, really hard. It was hard for me to even get out on the run because I was kind of mentally defeated, but it was a hilly course and I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was," she says.
So what's next? First the Fargo Mini Marathon half marathon on Oct. 20, then the sky's the limit.
In these events, "I'm able to shine individually, and I'm able to show what I can do," she says.
Since setting out to run, then swim and bike, she's learned a lot about herself.
"I feel more confident, and I trust my judgment, my opinions and my feelings more instead of second-guessing myself, because you can't do that out in a competition," she says.
Plus, she dropped 40 pounds while pushing the limits of her mind and body.
Tyson, who at her heaviest wore a size 17, recently realized how far she's come while putting away laundry.
"I thought to myself, 'That's a lot less pant to put away,' " she says. "I never would have imagined putting on a single-digit-size anything ever in my life."
She's also gained perspective and gratitude for what she's capable of, especially since inspiring others to get moving.
"You are your biggest competitor. You are the reason you get up and go, and you are the reason you either finish or you don't," she says.
Do you have a weight-loss story to tell? Email me at email@example.com.
Forum reporter Meredith Holt has lost 105 pounds since May 2010. She will share stories of her weight-loss journey in her column, which runs the first and third Friday of each month in SheSays. Readers can reach her at (701) 241-5590.

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique. Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 and much of his best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest.

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — Days after he resigned from the Maine Senate in 2011, David Trahan began lobbying his former colleagues on behalf of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine.

Josh Tardy, a former Republican House minority leader, gave up his seat in 2010 because of term limits and soon began lobbying the Legislature for such clients as General Motors and Central Maine Power Co.
And not long after losing his re-election bid for the Maine House in 2010, Benjamin Pratt began lobbying on wind power legislation for Friends of Maine's Mountains.
The "revolving door" between the State House and lobbying offices would be closed by a bill that was heard Wednesday by the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Jarrod Crockett, R-Bethel, would impose a one-year waiting period before former lawmakers could go into lobbying.
Crockett said the bill is aimed at good governance and not motivated by any individual.
"We run the risk of suggesting impropriety on the part of what could be an entirely harmless situation by digressing now into specific instances," he said. "It is more important to keep this bill pointed to the loftier and nobler goals of giving citizens greater confidence in their government by avoiding even the look of impropriety in future Legislatures."
But Tardy, who did not testify at Wednesday's hearing, said in an interview that the bill is "a solution that's looking for a problem."
Trahan, who also didn't testify, said in an interview that he would be uncomfortable excluding some people from lobbying without evidence that they have done wrong.
"I think we should look at a person's honesty, integrity and ability to work with people. That, to me, matters more than waiting periods," said Trahan, who will lobby lawmakers as they consider a bill to shield previously public records on holders of concealed-weapon permits.
An amendment to Crockett's bill would authorize the state ethics commission, which administers the state's lobbyist disclosure law, to oversee the one-year prohibition on lobbying and empower the commission to assess $1,000 fines for any violations.
Maine law now defines a lobbyist as anyone who is compensated for influencing legislation and spends at least eight hours a month doing so.
In a memo to the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, Jonathan Wayne, executive director of the ethics commission, said "we see no problems administering the proposed restriction."
Maine is one of 15 states that have no revolving-door laws for legislators, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Most states have one- or two-year periods during which former lawmakers are barred from lobbying.
Crockett noted that Maine got an "F" grade last year from the State Integrity Investigation, which calls itself "a data-driven analysis of state government transparency and ethics."
The analysis contended that Maine is the fifth-most susceptible state to corruption, based on what the study's authors described as lax legislative accountability and poor lobbying disclosure.
Tardy said he rejects any suggestion that Maine legislative and lobbying ethics are low.
"We're all very well regulated," he said. "It just seems to me that this bill, with all due respect to what this Legislature does with it, is a solution that's looking for a problem."
But in testimony supporting the bill, Ann Luther, advocacy director for the League of Women Voters, said even the appearance of favoritism is reason to impose a waiting period.
Crockett suggested in his testimony that the prospect of moving directly into lobbying could influence some lawmakers' positions on bills before they leave office.
"As the old saying goes, the look of impropriety is considered impropriety itself," Crockett said.
Tardy and Trahan took issue with that characterization.
"What you're assuming there is there's a quid pro quo between legislators," Trahan said. "Being effective doesn't necessarily mean you have some dishonest activity that's going on."
Tardy said he regards his legislative service as the best job he ever had -- even though it entailed long hours with relatively little compensation.
"I don't think people run for the Legislature to set themselves up for a career after the Legislature; I think they run for the Legislature because they're interested in public service," he said.
Crockett's proposal comes two years after the Legislature rejected a more sweeping ethics bill, which included a one-year waiting period before lawmakers could go into lobbying.
Republicans, who then controlled the Legislature, defeated the proposal on party-line votes in the Senate and House.
Crockett said Wednesday that he opposed that bill because it was too broad, but he supported the waiting-period provision.

This place is one of my favorite restaurants in the twin Cities. Located in a historical building with great food and service in a beautiful atmosphere!
Great food and a beautiful building – I went with three friends for the Sunday breakfast special and let me say it was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, there was never an empty beverage on the table or a discarded plate. The breakfast included orange glazed cinnamon rolls, steak and eggs, fresh fruit and more for only $25, so much food that we were all stuffed. In between courses there's plenty to look at, the building is stunning inside and out and decorated in a wonderful antique style. Next time we would love to sit outside, the patio looked even more amazing!
Amazing Fine Dining!! – I had a WONDERFUL meal at W.A. Frost my prom night this year. For those who believe that you can just walk up to this restaurant, you're sorely mistaken... I had to get a reservation about 6 weeks in advance. However, it was well worth it. We had great food, atmosphere, and service. Again, this place is pretty pricey, and unless you have a reservation, you might as well forget it, but heeding those two warnings, you'll have an unforgettable meal.
Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere
Cons: Pricing, Accessibility.
Terrible Service!! Don't bother... – 4 of us went to W.A Frost on a beautiful saturday afternoon around 1pm a few weeks ago. We were surprised to see the patio only about 25% full, but soon found out why. We were told we wouldn't be served outside without a reservation. So, we tried to get a table inside, but were told it was full (even though we could see only about 1/2 the tables were taken). So, we were sent to the bar side where we waited about 15 mins for table to free up. Once seated, we sat for another 15 minutes as the wait staff repeated walked by and ignored us. We all decided this place has more customers than they can handle and that they obviously didn't need us. So, don't waste your time at W.A. Frost, there are just too many great places in the cities that also have beautiful patios and where they actually do care about customers.
I'm not one to give a place a bad review first time out as any place can have an off day, but this was my second time to W.A. Frost this summer after being treated poorly the first time there also. If you like being made to feel that they are doing YOU a favor by allowing you to wait for their poor service, then I say have at it. You'll get what you are looking for...
Delightfully Exquisite!!! – Amazing, Delightful, Romantic, Exquisite and Everything that one would expect from a 5 star restaurant! This place surpassed my expectations and inspired an elegant evening of private romance and conversation. From the first floor layout and table presentation, one would never expect the divine and cozy accommodations down below. And, a little secret if I may... I did not find this place until requesting a more 'private' setting for my date and myself. Downstairs was this very mature sitting/dinning/entertaining area. VERY impressive, art, brick, fireplaces, coffee tables, couches, romance and the best part, they even served US downstairs. It was, for lack of a better word, PERFECT. The mini coves extended from the larger room made for the perfect romantic and very private little dinning experience. This would the Perfect place to propose, have a reception, family reunion, bridal anything, or just lounge before heading out to a show, opera, night out, etc. This is a place you will want to come back to over and over again!
I just moved to the Twin Cities from San Diego and have dedicated myself to dinning at 2 new restaurants a month... stay posted for more.
I should of stayed home... – W.A Frost & Company has a great atmosphere and ambiance- However, it's not worth much when you are constantly waiting for a drink and an hour for a few appetizers at 10pm. The patio was almost empty.
I get better service from my favorite dive bars. Overpriced, bizarre food and terrible service.
We ordered a cheese tray and a flatbread ahi-tuna appetizer- I'm still sick of crackers. Which is 90% of what we recieved.
Worthless happy hour – I had my stomach all set for late happy hour and I was hungry. The bartender gave me a glass of wine and then ignored me for nearly 20 minutes. There was nothing I could do to catch his eye because it was noisy and he spent all his time way at the other end of the bar flirting with another customer. The only reason I'd see to go back would be that I could get a glass of wine for free, because I seriously could have left without paying and no one would have noticed.
WOW! – If you decide to eat here, ask to sit on the patio you will love it! One of my best dinning exp. ever we sat outside on a perfect night, ordered a great drink vodka bootleg. The service was super always is when your server has a helper to do the water and bring the bread out. The food reminds me a lot of what you see on top chef very trendy and up scale! Check this place out!!
What a special evening – I took my date to this restaurant for her birthday. We had 7pm reservations and were seated right away. The dining rooms looked full but not crowed and we felt very comfortable in our corner. My date was wished happy birthday by our attendants which made her feel special. We were served promptly but we never felt rushed. We started with the Tapas Trio which was an excellent combination of shrimp, beef and salmon bites each with their own delicious seasoning. Peaches our my dates favorite fruit so she loved the fennel and peach salad with crumbed blue cheese and walnuts while I had a simple mixed green salad. We both had the filet which was also out of this world. My date loves red meat if it is not red but I like mine on the rarer side. Both were cooked to perfection and hot at the same time. They melted in out mouths. The filet was served on a bed of mascarpone herb polenta and mushroom ragout that was very good. We finished off our meal with the Mini Trio Plate for dessert which was also an excellent combination of creme brulee, strawberry-rhubarb cobbler and dark chocolate cherry cake . My date had a very good port to go with her dessert. We felt like we could linger and enjoy finishing our drinks and talking for as long as we wanted. I would recommend this restaurant.
Best patio in the twin cities – My wife and I love W.A Frost. It is always our first choice for date night. We especially love it at the bar - always great service and the bar menu is great food to share in a more relaxed setting. Our current favorite is the BLT with fries - it is so good. We highly recommend the bar for a great dinner or a relaxing drink. Can a brag about the patio in March? The patio is the best in the twin cities.

Alan Rae - Business Communicator
Chairman, Free Spirits Ltd
Lewes/United Kingdom
Business Communication
Hi - I'm Alan Rae. I run a consultancy business which focuses on helping companies grow based on research (and our own experience) into the common barriers that need to be overcome.
I develop training materials and case studies for small businesses and those who want to reach them. Customers include HP, PCWorld and O2, government departments like the DTI and the Welsh assembly government and Business Schools such as Brunel, Southampton and RHUL. I've even worked with Virgin Atlantic and BNI. Most work is about communication - marketing, motivation and about building the processes that give customers a great experience and build your brand,.Some of it goes into books like this one
It's based on our own experiences of running internet businesses (see below) and a long running research collaboration with several business schools to establish how the most successful small businesses actually do promote themselves.
You can read some of the book online by following this link or in the unlikely event that you just want to buy it because you're convinced already that I know what I'm talking about you can just use this one. .
If you need more help in this area have a look at my howtodobusiness.com site.
I live on a plant nursery in Sussex where I put my business ideas into practice in an internet business run with my wife called Free Spirits Ltd. We sell plants, organic vegetables and products for serious gardeners such as predators for plant pests (nematodes, ladybird larvae etc), devices to test soil and weather conditions and propagation and soil conditioning materials such as the beneficial fungi, mycorrhiza. The gardeners products are available via www.TheIntelligentGarden.com.
I do various projects for larger organisations which involve a research phase, a workbook production phase and a phase where we tell the world about it. A recent consultancy project came about because of the crossover between my best practice work and our nursery and I was appointed Horticultural Workforce Champion. I talked to growers, found case studies of good practice, write them up and use social media and face to face networking to tell the world all about it. You can see the results at www.growingjobs.org. I'm driven to understand how things work and spend my life looking for underlying patterns so that they can be put to work.
My D Phil was about how plants develop and I'm fascinated by evolution - of nature, business and society generally. I've been really fortunate to get paid to do things that interest me all along and for most of the time since 1981 I've been running businesses with my wife, Isobel.. We're now on our 4th business, the first two were IT related and specialised in technical applications like CAD and production control. The next one was concerned with IT and e-business training and grew out of a flagship IT training facility, the Executive Studio, that I built and ran for the Business Link in West London. There I mainly carried out research projects on how small companies used IT in business and developed a range of e-business training workshops. Here's a picture of the learning centre.
What I can do for you - sell you stuff to help you grow your garden - or your business - and entertain you. What you can do for me - buy stuff, help me build our business, take a holiday in our Turkish Villa, book the band or have interesting things to say. Now for the detail
Plants by post
In 2004 we got to the point where we thought we should move on from just talking about e-commerce and start doing it. So over the last 5 years we have developed several plant related businesses. The original one was www.plants4presents.co.uk which sells plants on line and also does a fair amount of work with PR agencies on specific promotions since we have the facilities to acquire, prep and despatch a wide range of plants. The rapid expansion of this business meant that six years ago we acquired Fletching Glasshouses.. However the packing station and propagation benches were ideal for our internet business and provided us with the expansion room we needed. You can see the nursery here.
Organic Gardening
Having the space to grow changes your thinking. So we have developed 3 additional, plant related businesses here. www.ladybirdplantcare.co.uk we acquired from one of our suppliers. It sells biological predators for garden and glasshouse pests - ladybird larvae for aphids, nematodes for slugs and leatherjackets etc etc. www.fletchingglasshouses.co.uk which uses the rest of the glass to grow organic vegetables to supply the local market of farm shops, box schemes and farmers markets - I do two to three of these a month. We got our Soil Association certification in 2008.
I talk to a lot of people at the Farmers Markets and have really noticed the growth in the grow your own movement. However I know that a lot of gardeners would benefit from a more focused - not to say scientific approach to producing healthy crops. So I've created a site which provides the know-how they need and supplies them with a range of products to help them. Things like pH meters, soil testing kits, weather stations, thermometers, gardeners microscopes for identifying pests etc.
However as organic growers, we know that the best way forward is to keep the soil well conditioned so we're selling things like beneficial fungi (mycorrhiza) and some tools to help propagation and cuttings. All the details about how to use these are on the site and you can buy the products there or via our Intelligent Garden store on Amazon.co.uk
It's truly a family business since as well as Isobel and me it employs our daughter Emily, my sister and 5 other people plus a few local students at peak times (we've just had 3 lads helping us pack for the Christmas rush)
Small Business Research
One of the nice things is that all this sits alongside my consultancy work which these days seems to come when a couple of strands of my past coincide. This Autumn I've been teaching on an e-commerce MSc at Southampton University and carrying out a research project with Royal Holloway and Kingston Universities on how SMEs in the supply chain use social media to promote themselves. However the most interesting opportunity has come from the intersection of this type of good practice work with our experiences of being organic growers. I have been appointed as Regional Horticultural Workforce Champion - a project which involves me talking to Growers about their workforce issues so as to find half a dozen case studies of good practice, and then create a workbook and some downloadable materials - just like the work we used to do in the Executive Studio.
Online Marketing
I still run workshops in online marketing and have several products you might find interesting. I don't do much marketing implementation for other people because, as a creator, I have too much bandwidth used up on my own projects. However I'm always happy to help you develop your own strategy using our "Punch above your Weight" Methodology - or help you research your market. (I'm an associate of the MRS and a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing) In essence I'll help you develop your story - discuss with you when and where to promote it and show you how you can use online and offline networking to build the incoming leads and advocates that you need. The original method helps you develop your story, deconstruct it into keywords, test them using google Adwords and then use them to optimise your site and to tag blogs, you-tube videos and other social media to drive traffic to a site which can capture people's details in exchange for some useful information so you can manage you interaction with these new contacts and give them stuff that they want, quickly and easily. As part of a research project that we carried out with Ivan Misner of BNI, we established that most small business owners spend 12-15 hours a week promoting themselves. We also established that the same rules of engagement work on line as in the face to face world. So we changed the emphasis of Punch above your Weight to follow the sequence.
- What's your story?
- How do you tell it online?
- What's the right balance of face to face networking and on-line activity for you.
- If you're interested this more detail at www.punchaboveyourweight.com
Brain Map®Your story is what connects you emotionally with your customer - so you need to be able to understand how their thinking style, values and needs fits with your own. We sell a range of tools developed by Brain Technologies Inc to help you understand yourself better - and by extension the other people that you work with as a leader or a supplier. The Brain Map® helps you understand better how you look at the world. It's a simple yet powerful model that allows you to assess your own balance between action and thinking, between results and relationships and between detail and the big picture. This inexpensive paper based self-assessment tool helps you understand which of the four quadrants, visionary, control, pursue or relate you primarily work from and will give you guidance about how you appear and what language to use with people from different positions. We use it in our own Marketing work and have in the past used it with equal success in leadership applications. We have the right to distribute these products in the UK so if you are interested in using them in your own coaching practice please contact me.
MusicianWhen I'm not working I enjoy cycling and windsurfing and I'm a semi-pro musician (as in I get the occasional paid gig). I play guitar and keyboards and have a singing voice which is charitably described as "gravelly". Here are a couple of pics of me in action - at the MAD club Xmas party, in Haywards Heath and in Kathmandu playing with Blues Business at the Himalayan Blues festival. You can find out more at www.HeavenlyBlues.com I'm not interested in taking part in other people's get rich quick schemes - I have too many get rich slowly schemes of my own ;). I'm generally quite genial, interested in social evolution and can get quite wound up about institutionalised greed and stupidity - of which there is always plenty about. If you're interested in plants or business development I'm sure we could have an interesting conversation.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Alan for three years and over the last 12 months we have developed a particularly close relationship. He has developed quite a bit of video based eContent with Personal Development Bureau, chaired meetings and helped to validate plans. Alan is someone I regard of high integrity and also both very commercially aware with lots of practical business experience and very much an out of the box thinker. He also has a "can do attitude" and is immensely supportive. I would highly recommend Alan to anyone that chooses to commission him, knowing that whatever he does "is exactly what he says on the tin""
"Alan was running the Executive Studio in West London when I was a Business Link Adviser. Alan has the ability to take potentially complex ideas, concepts and processes and making them understood and usable by any business person. A true adopter of relevant technology for improving business. Highly Recommended."
"Some conversations make you think: some make you smile; some make you act. A conversation with Alan is likely to do all three. Alan and I met up to talk marketing for my new business. Although I often help my clients to define a clear target market for their services, I was having a "cobblers children" moment and struggling to do the same for myself. Alan's imagination, patience and knowledge helped to narrow down the field and reduce the difficulty to a manageable size. And we had fun, too!"
"Hi I was just surfing around Ecademy and I remembered it had been a while since I checked out the profile of the people on my contact list so I had decided to take a look and when I see your profile I just felt compelled to leave this comment / testimonial. It is and always has been a pleasure to have you in my contact network here on ecademy and just to let you know I am almost 10 years now full time working from home on the internet so if there is ever any advice or anything that you need just let me know. Mark McCulloch Enlightened Entrepreneur, Internet Marketer and Success Coach http://www.CoachOfSuccess.com"
"Thank you Alan for a delightful day yesterday. I had some expectations as to where the ConferenceREACTION story and online marketing day would go yesterday. By the end of the day I knew they had been exceeded. I will let other attendees speak for themselves. Alan coached us through understanding our style of doing business and that of our potential clients. He helped us to write the story for our clients. He proposed a process for us to deliver that message. GREAT VALUE. We just have to do it now!"
"A researcher who critically analysis and synthesis yesterday, to see tomorrow. Thanks Rae."
"I'm very happy and proud that Alan is part of my network in Ecademy. We're both BlackStars and share several clubs and groups where we exchange ideas, thoughts, knwoledge and wirsdom! Alan is a proactive, experienced, open, random and supportive networking guru who under promises and over delivers and who is always ready to advice and help you to find a solution of your business problems. He is a great entrepreneur who shares ideas, thoughts, methodologies, knowledge and wisdom with all of us and provides us with practical business advice He turns knowledge into wisdom by researching, structuring and presenting it. So it can be put to work. Alan has a Doctorate in Biochemistry. He applies that original scientific training to solving business problems. Alan is a great inspiration and a true friend you should have in your network! I recommend Alan to all my colleagues, peers and friends! I wish him a wonderful, lucky and successful future! All the best and kind regards Lucas Swiss Business Club"
"Hi Alan. I am so glad you are part of my network here in Ecademy. I am very much pleased to have you as one of my friends. We can share ideas and knowledge with our common interest. I've been making money online for over 12 years working full time and I would like to share my Free Course entitled "7 Steps to 7 Figures". It's for free. Check it out here Regards, Simon Stepsys Internet Training Coach www.SimonStepsysCoaching.com"
"Hiya Alan I was just browsing around Ecademy and decided to look at my contacts where I noticed yourself once again and I thought I would come over and check out your profile. Great profile you have here and a pleasure to be connected with you. Regards Mark McCulloch http://www.MarkMcCulloch.com"
"Not only is Alan a great 'OUthinker', but he is also an excellent listener. He gave me the space to share some challenging issues I have with my work, indeed, things I just did not want to share as I felt embarrassed. He helped me take all of the drama out of it, and worked with me to create a step by step process for resolving the situation. He also gave me a new perspective on the situation, and as a result, I realised i was not alone with this type of a situation. I am going to Alan's seminar which is scheduled for 4th September, but is likely to take place on 11th September. Watch this space for another testimony. "
"Hi! It is an honor to be connected with you on Ecademy. I look forward to our networks being of mutual benefit to one another. Best Regards, Ishmael Samuel. www.tours2eastafrica.com. "
"Absolutely amazing to have connected with you here on ecademy. Your profile really does look very good and you seem to be very professional, please keep the hard work going always. Mark McCulloch http://www.CoachOfSuccess.com"
"Alan is a very smart & very bubbly person. I learned a lot of things from him. Its good that I became part of his long list of friends.. Thanks for everything!! Always Keep Smiling my dear friend and Take good Care of yourself... Love, ANGEL :)"
"Alan Rae is totally brilliant! In the Black Star Boardroom March 2009 mediated by Thomas Power, we helped Alan Distinguish that what he brought was his 'thoughts' -- from this Alan came up with the 'OutThinker.' I went to his clinic in April on Business One Man Band. He generously gave us advice and showed us the findings of his research. Every time I speak to him at meetings he is gracious and always offers to help. If you have a big business problem/challenge, get Alan on board to 'OUtThink'. "
"Alan networks at the Ecademy events where we meet. Alan is a serious, honourable business man with a high gratifying, enjoyable way of performing music."

"It is an honour to be connected with you on Ecademy. I look forward to our networks being of mutual benefit to one another."
"Hello Rae. I love your profile. How can we try to do something in Brazil? I hope to have a reply from you... All the Best Carlos Renato"
"Glad to be connected!"
"I met Alan through a Marketing workshop in Croydon couple of years ago. He has high quality marketing techniques that can put your business back on the race. He is also a very friendly and funy person. Nice to bump into you again.I highly recomend his workshop for small business owners."
Anthony Mellor FCA, Tel 0121 314 4750
"Alan's profile is the most engaging I have read, ever. I am writing this to encourage you to read all of it because it contains great things all the way through - I find I have a feeling of excitement wondering what the man himself is like! Anthony"
"Alan doesn't just look like a guru - he really is one! He's helped me enormously with getting my proposition sorted, and in understanding how to use the web effectively as a small business - in fact, how to be effective as a small business generally. He also has a tremendous way to make his in-depth and detailed research accessible to us mere mortals. If you haven't read his e-book "21 Business Stories" I'd thoroughly recommend it - real-life wisdom from someone who's actually started a number of businesses. Alan's sense of humour and self-deprecating ways make him a real pleasure (and genuinely funny) to work with, but don't let the affable eccentric act delude you - make no mistake, this guy really knows his stuff, and shares it generously - definitely a recommended connection. "
"Alan. I just wanted to say how impressed I was that you allowed me (as an amateur in on-line marketing) to come to my own conclusions without being bombarded with info. This clearly is an area with a glut of info. There are few that realise the value of being able to learn at our own pace. Once again, thanks and can I suggest we have another session looking at my new adwords campaign? David Cole www.copycare.net www.battlebaton.com"
"I rated him good, because he is a great networker!"
"I highly recommend Alan. Working with Alan was truly mind blowing, I have attended one of his courses which was packed with practical and useful information."
"Alan is my co-pilot in the Brand Network He is a brilliant man. Full of energy and with many years experience of contributing huge value to Ecademy and its people. I am very grateful he got along side me and helped me to get our Club off the ground earlier this year. I am also very grateful for the many in depth strategic thoughts he has shared with me personally. His e-books are well worth a read... and if you can make one of his seminars, you will find yourself richer for it."
"Alan is a free spirit indeed with a wealth of experience, common sense, good humour and generosity of spirit. Alan is also a very fine storyteller - funny- and I look forward to seeing him in print. Thank you for welcoming me in to Black Star Alan. my first visit and you made it a great pleasure."
"I am very glad to connect to Mr. Alan . he has the Power of Marketing ;) All the best, Radwan Algafir Regional Export Manager Rahwanji Cards International "
"Alan seems to be a great networker. I am proud of his connecting. Best wishes fron Lingaraj :) "
"Dr Bolloxx (TBT). Highly recommended."
"VERY interesting profile. Respect!"
"Giant Mind. Giant Heart. Giant. Charming. Thoroughly recommended."
"A man who knows what he is talking about, can explain clever ideas to luddites like me."
" A seasoned player, a heart as big as a beachball, and a walking marketing encyclopedia. He's been there. Done it, and created the Youtube video about it too. Wholeheartedly recommended. 10/10. (and believe me, I dont do that often on here)"
"Alan is one of those few intellectuals that can make a subject accessible and easily appreciated. He has a huge brain and a big heart and I would recommend any time you can get with him to understand some of the phylosophy and practical aspects of marketing your business online. I class him as a good friend and a valuable contact and I recommend his expertise to any business looking to make themselves look bigger than they really are."
"Alan definately knows his stuff....Highly reccomended"
"A great guy. Who understands marketing and shares his knowledge freely with his network."
"Alan, Is a great asset to this community. Knowledgeable, helpful and generous to a fault - Alan is always available to help when you need clarity in your business vision. Connect with him and you'll benefit from the wisdom of a true gentleman. David"
"A long overdue testimonial for one of the best people in Ecademy. Alan is always warm and friendly, erudite and charming. He is great fun to be with and I always enjoy meeting up with him. I've attended his 'Punch Above Your Weight' workshop which provided a wonderful insight into internet marketing - highly recommended. It's great to know you Alan, and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Ivor"
"Alan is great networker and a fantastic friend that loves networking with the speed of trust! It was great to meet you again in Blackstar event in London. Life is global and what goes around comes around. Thank yo so much for your kind words. Kindest regards from Douro Valley! Victor Marques"
Vicki (The Property Mermaid) Wusche
"I attended the Punch Above your Weight workshop last week - wow :) Alan has helped me to understand, what for me seemed impossible - thank you! Not only is this course a 'must', Alan also combines the knowledge to help you understand with the practical to help you achieve!! 'Check me out' I am on Facebook now :) (and Wordpress and Squidoo .........) (sorry haven't done the course that shows me how to put in the links yet :) ) Thanks Alan"
"Alan has this big smile and keen intellect, engages with you in deep, sincere and meaningful conversations. A beautiful mind at home in the universe, always a pleasure to go off on an intellectual journey with him. Looking forward to do business together!"
"The biggest compliment I can give anyone is WYSIWYG. What's amazing about Alan is that WYG is pretty awesome. Alan has a very big brain and a very big heart, a rare combination. He has a perfect balance of left and right brain too - spiritual, interested in the esoteric, yet practical and a very able business man and scientist. He's also very discreet, a great listener, immensely kind and funny and willing to make a twit of himself for the longer gain, as am I. This must be where we connect, and although we are both getting on a bit now I do feel I've made a lifelong friend."
"If there's anyone you should have on your team, it's Alan Rae. One of the great business minds of Ecademy and in the world at large; Alan's experience, insight and integrity not only defines the aspirational quality of Blackstar membership but is also one of the prime reasons to join. One of the few I can listen to and learn from."
"An amazing person who is a fountain of knowledge and inspirational. After attending his workshops, you really do feel totally motivated to do things NOW! He makes everything 'come together' so you really understand the whole Web 2.0 experience. I highly recommend his workshops and reading anything he offers on his websites. Sue www.tags2web.co.uk"
"Having attended Alan's workshop 'Punch Above Your Weight' this morning, I just had to write a testimonial. I class myself as a reasonably technically aware person but during the workshop I improved the effectiveness of my Google Ad Words campaign, increased the impact of my Facebook Account, opened (and populated) a Wordpress Blog - which I was able to import my blog from Blogger into - and also got an understanding of Squidoo - plus how to enhance my existing presence on Ecademy. Having now written this testimonial I feel I should cancel it in case any of my competitors get to read it and then go on Alan's workshop and then find out how to market themselves for no cost. Yep, I can't take the risk so please scrub what I have written above - it was rubbish, don't go and certainly do not read this testimonial."
"Alan Just to thank you for your presentation yesterday evening. You have enabled me to understand more about the arcane subtleties concerned with website content, design and interaction. Thank you, an excellent evening. Cliff "
"Alan's punch above your weight workshop was really fascinating, his enthusiasm and expertise is infectious and gets you very much into a 'I want to do this now' mood - highly recommended! Regine Essence Design Limited"
"One of the greatest minds and attitudes you are likely to come across in Ecademy. Period. Quite simply a genius of extraordinary prowess. "
"Alan is the liveliest minded person I know right now, what's amazing is that unlike many other people with stratospheric IQs he's a nice, kind, spiritual person. I find Alan extremely non judgmental, patient and always willing to help out. "
"I will be delight to meet Alan in one BlackStar events. A very sensitive man that is deep in thought and loves in a true way everything that our mother earth give to us without ask anything else! a true giver in the real sense of the word! So, as myself he really believes that networking is about farming not hunting. Kindest Regards! Victor Marques "
"Alan and I have shared some interesting talk across this board and I like him. He is someone who is willing to help and always ready to speak his mind. I admire and respect that in him. He is certainly well versed on many things and a pleasure to know."
Lee Smallwood - changing perceptions
"I would recommend Alan's 1 Man Brand to anybody who is serious about moving their business on or for people looking to start any new venture. Fantastic product, best thing I've invested in this year. Thanks Alan"
"Alan came to speak at Croydon Ecademy about "How to do Business" - no small challenge ! - and attracted our largest audience for some time - we even had to order more sandwiches ! Alan did us proud, addressing this wide-ranging topic, from the practical perspective of how to get more sales, how to use PR, how to get a "story" for you customers, and how to lead your team (the same convincing "story"). He explained a lot about how to use the internet to generate sales leads, focusing on the financial benefits of the approach rather than the technology. This led into a number of interesting discussions - about giving things away free, business blogging and squidoo.com (take a look for yourself). With such a relaxed and open conversational style, Alan's talk felt more like a chat with a knowledgeable friend. I'd recommend him as a speaker for any club, and as an business advisor anytime. Thanks Alan Huw Williams"
"Off the cuff funny and not shy to offer valueable snippets tips & advice. "
"Working with Alan over the last few years has been one of life's great pleasures. I remember suggesting a job title for him a few years ago of Knowledge Director. It was apt and he never let me down. Alan is a wonderfully off beat and probably deranged individual. He has forgotten more good things than I have ever thought of. If you want to be inspired and have access to a deeply felt intellect - give him a ring. But if you want to change your business to reach the stars, send him an email and book 10 days of his time. He will challenge, provoke, inspire, coach, tell, do and mend. Working with him will change your view forever. So do it, but be afraid, be very afraid. "
"Having the type of mind which prevents me from asking others to do something about which I know nothing myself, I had learnt the hard way about websites and knew I needed to learn how to drive people to view it. I had no excuse for not being near the top of google rankings - with a niche site it should have been easier to compete on the more targeted keywords but I was obviously doing something wrong. I attended Alan's presentation at Surrey Business Links on Pay Per Click Advertising for some help and learnt how to deploy keywords in a pay per click trial so the organic search takes over and you don't need it anymore. Alan cleared the fog surrounding keywords, connections, page-rank, viral marketing, meta tags webstats and more and gave me the inspiration to do something highly effective to improve my google page ranking. The information he imparted was necessarily detailed, but imparted in a light-hearted way that was fun, not hard work e.g. 'Make the Ad rock!' When I met him later he had more ideas as to how to market my niche including ecademy. Subsequent newsletters from Alan and the ability to download slides from the presentation to cement the learning were extremely helpful. I wish I'd found his 1Man Brand complete guide to Sales and Marketing when I first launched my business - by the time I had discovered it I had again leant the hard and time-consuming way how and where to tell my story (something I continue to do!) So what's next? Tackling more difficult terms and concepts such as comparative relevance; RSS feeds, Squidoo; e-books. And joining Alan's How to Do Business Club. "
"Ron has over 43 testimonials ! I'm not surprised. He is a really helping person and always smiling like on his picture ! I'm glad I can add his 216th 'good' rating ! ;-) :-) "
"He's been there and done it and has a wealth of experience coupled with a mischievous personality. Behind the warm smile is a talented mentor and guide and I look forward to spending more time with him."
"This is an interesting and complex man with music in his soul.That sets people apart and shows that they also have passion and imagination to overlay on thier business skills. Worth checking this man's track record."
"I've attended Alans workshop and used his "one man brand" product to help me develop an understanding of how my services can be "market driven" and ethical. The result is that I have more customers from ecademy and elsewhere than before and am happier to sell to those customers than I was previously. Alans insights are valuable and will have an impact on your profitability if you apply the principles and tools in the products effectively."
"Cool Head Warm Heart An Incredibly safe pair of Hands I have wanted to write this testimonial for some time and have hesitated till now, as I am sure I cannot do justice to the fantastic value that Dr Alan Rae brings to so many areas; his music, charm, business knowledge, incredible work ethic, spiritual focus and on and on. Alan breaks so many conventional rules while being completely reliable and trustworthy as a person, a leader and a big hearted giver. I would urge anyone with a requirement to connect with a master of business change, growth and future sustainability to get in touch with Alan urgently."
"The first thing I noticed about Alan is his warm friendly smile and presence. Approachable, thoughtful and full of ideas, he has given me real pointers on how to progress in my business. Alan is a great person to know and I would recommend anyone to meet him and benefit from his business experience."
"I have just finished working my way through Alan's 1manbrand tutorial. It is an excellent tutorial-in-a-box - very comprehensive. I was very impressed with the content in it, and then I realised there were additional folders with even more useful presentations in!! The Articulate product works really well too, great way to combine listening with the visual prompts of the slides. Definitely excellent value for money at the price Alan is charging! The flexibility it gives you, allowing you to select the items that are of most importance to you at that moment, and then revisit other areas when it suits you, is a unique value-add over traditionally delivered seminars. It is like having your own personal expert on hand! I thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to work on their own personal/company brand "
"First thing I noticed when sitting down and chatting with Alan is his welcoming persona coupled with a mischievous smile. We chuckled away together about life's experiences and far from putting the world to right everywhere, we took a couple of pot-shots at events and personalities, in order to have a good laugh. Alan is evidently a highly intelligent person, and with his knowledge, he lets you in on his secret approach to life, the universe et al, in such a way that he almost succeeded in helping me think I might be intelligent too. Well, 5 minutes of it was at least alot of fun. I thoroughly recommend you meet up with Alan, you will find yourself lifted. I feel there is so much more to Alan that I will learn about over the coming months and years! Great bloke!"
"Alan is a great guy to have in my network. Always has a good word to say. He seems to know something about every subject and can see different view points - good skill that one. Alan's marketing knowledge is immense, nice to be able to bounce ideas off someone like Alan to really cover all the bases. Peter"
"I thought I had written this some time ago so it pays to check these. Alan is one of the most likable and respected people I have met on ecademy. He combines intelligence and experience with a consistently cheerful and positive attitude. Terry"
"What a fun guy Alan is! He has qualities in abundance and is a brilliant person to be around. He is passionate, intelligent and so easy to get on with. Every moment spent with him is high value. Thank you Alan for the time and value you have given me. Nicole "
"What a fun guy Alan is! He has qualities in abundance and is a brilliant person to be around. He is passionate, intelligent and so easy to get on with. Every moment spent with him is high value. Thank you Alan for the time and value you have given me. Nicole "
"I asked Alan to review a project concerning SME growth. He responded with enthusiasm, insight and a great deal of knowledge that has pushed the bar much higher. Very , very grateful that there are people like Alan in Ecademy. I recommend Alan as a port of call if anyone wants helpful, useful, feet on the ground advice supported by extensive research and theory"
"Alan, I salute you! I believe you are one of those rare people who have wisdom as well as knowledge. You are an "old" soul who impacts the lives of others at a deep level for the greater good. Although I have only met you once at the recent gathering of Ecademy Club members, I have read your many contributions to the various clubs and always look forward to their contents. You always seem to have your finger on the pulse! I have a warm and deep regard for you, may you continue to be blessed."

Suitable from Birth
Order today for Monday delivery
Ultra-lightweight and sporty, the award-winning Maclaren Quest Stroller has comfort at its core. Matching a smooth ride for your little one with nippy manoeuvrabilit for you, it's perfect for city living.
Suitable from birth to approx. 3 years, the Maclaren Quest combines sleek and sporty in equal measure. The super-cosy padded seat reclines to fully flat so your baby can sleep in comfort. Adjustable leg support for younger children allows for outstretched legs and remembers its position before folding.
The high-tech aluminium frame is lightweight and robust. Ergonomically designed handles and a simplified braking system offer advanced steering ideal for whizzing around the urban landscape, in and out of the car or hopping on and off public transport. Reflective trim adds a welcome extra level of safety on those dark winter mornings and afternoons.
With removable washable covers, a roomy mesh shopping basket and easy umbrella fold, this thoughtfully designed stroller facilitates even the busiest modern life.
Great pushchair,use for my 2 year old everyday as I don't drive. Very easy to set up and can recline one handed and folds perfectly. Looking forward to taking this on our holiday abroad.
Bought this for my 3 year old for our holiday to Turkey. Very comfortable, easy ride and she falls asleep for her afternoon naps with no problem in this stroller. It was easy to set up and was very compact in the boot of my little Vauxhall Astra! I had a Quinny Buzz which was fab but baby was getting too big for it. This buggy isn't suitable for off-road walking as some are, like the Quinny, but it was ideal for my needs on holiday, or in shopping malls etc when my daughters feet are too tired to walk anymore! Great price on kiddicare too.
This is a great buggy for our toddler for every day use - compact, easy to fold up, easy to steer and very comfortable for our little one. Excellent for use on public transport too. Shopping basket could be bigger but carry pocket on back is really useful for easy access to things like snacks, water bottle, nappies etc. My daughter is very happy travelling in it and the champagne / black colour combo looks very stylish and isn't as common as some of the other colour combos so it's easily recognised at the nursery buggy park!
